A cozy, oversize sweater

We called it one of fall’s “most wearable trends” and we meant it. A cool, touchable sweater should definitely make it onto your must-have list for fall. Wear it with everything from jeans to maxiskirts to cropped pants (with sexy, pointy heels). Comfy style = a total win.

A tuxedo blazer

Say goodbye to slouchy shapes and super-pointy shoulders; the newest blazer on the block is the neat, formfitting tuxedo blazer, beloved for its ability to go from day to night. (Bonus: It has magical slimmifying powers too!) It might be trendy right now, but never fear—like the boyfriend blazer, it can stay in your jacket rotation for many seasons to come.

A stack of bracelets

More a street-style trend than a runway trend, arm candy is especially tempting this fall. We love this must-have accessory because you can find it at any price and use it to jazz up your beloved basics in a jiffy. Buy one now and continue to collect when you see something special. Yep, just like middle school.

A ladylike dress

Another “most wearable fall trend” to make our post-Fashion Week roundup? The ’70s-inspired office-friendly dress—a.k.a. dresses with a happy, can-do attitude and a hemline-and-sleeve-length combo fit for a lady. Wear ‘em with your highest heels and your best cat-eye liner for a look that’s both smart and sexy, just like you!

A pair of colorful cropped pants

Bright pants were a big trend on the fall runways. Also popular? Jewel tones. Choose the shade that speaks to you and use them to brighten up your everyday neutrals. As for silhouette, a tidy and modern cropped cut is the way to go, gals.

A daytime-appropriate clutch

The clutch handbag is back, and this time it’s not just for clubbin’. (Yes, that’s right, we said “clubbin’.”) This fall, pick up one you can wear for day and evening, like oversize, structured versions or one that comes in a lunch-break-appropriate color. Not convinced you can run errands with the thing? Look for styles that have a detachable strap and wear it cross-body style instead.

A cool-hemline skirt

From high slits to floor-sweeping lengths to the body-con, knee-grazing varieties, skirts with unexpected statement-making hemlines were all over the fall runways. Choose your fave cut and rock it with confidence!

A pair of wide-leg or flared jeans

Perhaps you picked them up last year, in which case, you’ve got one less thing to buy this season! If not, now is the time because after years of the skinny jean’s reign, wide-leg and flared jeans are looking fresher than ever this season. Jeans are known for their utility, and girl, trust us: These babies are going to work hard for you this season.

A pop, patterned top

Polka dots, snakeskin, stars, you name it: A wild, energetic patterned top is a big DO for fall 2011. It’s a quick wardrobe game-changer, because it’ll make those pencil skirts, jeans and black pants look brand-spankin’-new. Feeling brave? Pair it with your colorful pants. Yeah, awesome idea, we know.

A pair of rock-star-worthy ankle boots

There’s no better mood-lifter than a rockin’ pair of ankle boots, and this season—there are sooooo many fab styles to slip on your tootsies. Look for bright colors and luxe textures like hair-calf. Just as long as it says “look at me, baby,” you’re in the clear.
